Replying to: lsa_1977 (Jun 27, 2008 9:42 am) I googled "rotary engine Miata" a year or so ago and got a lot of information about a few attempts at doing what you are thinking about.
#4312 of 4340 Oil Pressure by lbound Jul 20, 2008 (10:10 am)
I have a 1990 MX5 with a new engine. 2500 miles. The oil pressure guage does not show oil pressure till about 2000 rpm then at best only slightly. I know it must be better or I would have motor problem by now. Previous owner installed new motor so I don't know much about the work done. Car runs and performs well. Need a new sender? What should the pressure register? Loren Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jul 30, 2008 11:27 am)

Replying to: lbound (Jul 20, 2008 10:10 am) Well, the 1990-1994 models had real gauges that actually measure oil pressure, not just a dummy gauge like the later ones.   Mine reads low until I rev the engine, but not zero, just low. It jumps up when the engine revs, then stays pretty steady and increases slightly with high rpms.
#4315 of 4340 Noisey drive belts ? by toydriver1 Aug 14, 2008 (7:55 pm)
I have an intermittent "squeal" noise when I first start up my '04 Miata, when the engine is cold. It also happens (on ocaision) when I first turn on the a/c ( goes away when turned off ). After about a minute the squeal goes away. I think it is coming from both the a/c and alternator (belts).    I haven't driven the car for several months. The drive belts were changed about 10K miles ago. ( Purchased the car about a year ago, but haven't had the chance to drive it much until lately ).   Is this common ? Should the belts be adjusted ? Other common causes ?
#4316 of 4340 Miata Headlight Switch Replacement by rwillis2 Oct 26, 2008 (10:05 am)
I recently ordered a replacement headlight switch for my '97 Miata. I am by no means a mechanic! My switch was deemed bad by a professional. I am now facing the task of replacing it. How?! Do I remove the steering column cover or steering wheel? Help! I have no headlights or taillights! And the dash lights aren't working either. Can anyone give me simple directions to replace the switch and come back to the LIGHT!!!! Thx!!!! Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 05, 2008 12:51 pm)

#4318 of 4340 2001 Miata O2 Sensor Replacement by dovan Nov 18, 2008 (10:43 pm)
How do I find directions to replace the O2 Sensor on my 2001 Miata? I don't want to have to buy a repair manual just to do this. I'm not mechanically inclined. I have only known how to change oil and filter. I have also heard that I'd need a special tool (crow-feet wrench?). Thanks. -Hieu
#4319 of 4340 Timing belt 1992 Mazda Miata by beckig Feb 11, 2009 (12:06 pm)
Hello. I just bought a 1992 Mazda Miata. I wanted to know if it has a non-interference engine? I read that the 1991 has a non interference engine but I didn't know if the same applied to the 1992 Miata. I love my little Miata!! I don't know much about them since I have only owned it for 3 days but I am in love with it and I want to keep it forever so that is why I was looking into timing belts and the like. Is changing the timing belt on my 92 difficult? Thanks in advance! Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 12, 2009 8:26 am)

Replying to: beckig (Feb 11, 2009 12:06 pm) Correct, it is non-interference.   I just changed my belt, but I paid a mechanic to do it.   I did reset the timing, though, because they got that part wrong.
